You will probably never get it all out without the aid of a transmission flush machine. Any fluid left behind will destroy the transmission in a short time. I recommend not driving the vehicle! Have it towed to a garage that can perform that service and hope for the best.

Why does a Chevrolet venture minivan shift hard after it warms up but shifts smooth when cold?
I had the exact same problem and it ended up being the coolant temp that affected the trans operation. Do a coolant flush and refill of fresh fluid. The trans cooler lines run through the radiator. If the coolant runs too hot, so does the trans oil which causes shifting issues. I did the flush myself with an off the shelf product like bardahl or whatever and it hasn't shifted hard again for well over a year.
What can cause transmission oil in the water?
A lot of transmissions are cooled by running copper tubing from the trans to the bottom of the radiator and back to the trans oil pan. Depending on the age of the car and the condition of the system you could fix the problem by taking the car to a radiator shop and having them pressure check the system and solder any leaks found in the trans cooler system. Alternately, get a used radiator from a junk yard and replace your old one. The cooler lines are the only point that transmission fluid can get into the radiator water. UNLESS!! someone poured a pint of trans fluid into your radiator coolant bottle!!!! The first step in diagnosing this problem would be to drain and flush the coolant system, refill it and then in a few days check to see if you have the same problem.
The radiator has transmission fluid inside which should you change first the transmission fluid or the radiator fluid on your 97 ford explorer and also what is the torque spec and sequence.?
You need a new radiator if you have trans fluid in the radiator. Getting trans fluid in the radiator isn't such a big deal...just change the radiator.....the worrisome parts is getting coolant in the transmission. The radiator has a transmission cooler built in and it is separated with a wall of aluminum - the coolant and trans sides should never mix. First! You need to drain and remove the radiator and replace it with new fluid. If you got trans fluid in the radiator, it very likely means you got the inverse....coolant in the transmission. You also need to flush and drain the transmission. Also, you need to flush the transmission cooler lines out for any coolant. Coolant in the trans is often the death of a transmission. Make sure you use the right fluid in the trans. That vehicle takes Mercon V fluid - don't put anything else in there or you will have problems potentially.
What causes 89 Ford Laser leaking water into auto transmission?
the reason why water may get into transmission is due to the cooler for the trans oil is located inside the coolant radiator.and so the coolant is at higher presuure than the trans oil and it passes through a crack in the cooler.best option is to replace radiator and flush transmission many times with clean oil.afte this you may have slippage problem twith trans due to water still contaminated in trans.

How do you replace the thermostat in Daewoo Lanos 2000 Model?
The same as you would in any other car. Drain the old coolant out, replace the thermostat, flush the system, install a 50/50 mix of the coolant recommended in your owner's manual. There is a drain plug on the drivers side under the car, its right under the trans cooler lines, 2 lines to be exact, you can just unscrew it by hand because there is like a handle to it!!!
